current losses, including livelihood and other losses of affected populations, and work
towards the collection of information disaggregated by income, sex, age and disability
and on historical disaster losses going back, at least, to 2005, if feasible;
16. Recognizes that disaster risk reduction requires a multi-hazard and
systemic approach and inclusive risk-informed decision-making based on the open
exchange and dissemination of data disaggregated by, inter alia, income, sex, age and
disability, and analysis with an adequate understanding of how the information is to
be interpreted and used, as well as on easily accessible, up -to-date, comprehensible,
interoperable, science-based, non-sensitive risk information, for a wide range of users
and decision makers, complemented by traditional knowledge, and in this regard
encourages States to commence or, as appropriate, further enhance the collection and
analysis of data on disaster loss and other relevant disaster risk reduction targets,
disaggregated by income, sex, age and disability and other characteristics relevant in
national contexts, and to strengthen inter-institutional, inclusive coordination on
disaster risk data and integrated analysis, and invites Member States to mobilize
national statistical and planning offices and other relevant authorities, and strengthen
their capacity in the systemic collection, analysis and validation of disaster risk data
to institutionalize its use in decision-making processes and investments across
sectors;
17. Also recognizes the endorsement by the Economic and Social Council on
2 July 2018 of the Strategic Framework on Geospatial Information and Services for
Disasters, 16 as a guide for Member States to ensure the availability and accessibility
of quality geospatial information and services across all phases of disaster risk
reduction and management, and which contributes to the implementation of the
Sendai Framework;
18. Stresses the importance of promoting the further development of and
investment in effective national and regional multi-hazard early warning mechanisms,
where relevant, and facilitating the sharing and exchange of information across all
countries;
19. Reaffirms that international cooperation for disaster risk reduction
includes a variety of sources and is a critical element in supporting the efforts of
developing countries to reduce disaster risk, and encourages States to strengthen
international and regional information exchange and sharing, including through
North-South cooperation complemented by South-South and triangular cooperation,
establishing and networking risk management centres, promoting critical science and
technology research cooperation on disaster reduction and improving international
coordination mechanisms to respond to large-scale disasters;
20. Recognizes the importance of monitoring the Sendai Framework, and
encourages States to use the online monitor to report on progress against the Sendai
Framework global targets and the Sustainable Development Goals related to disaster
risk to provide, inter alia, a comprehensive overview of progress to inform the
deliberations and outcomes of the high-level political forum on sustainable
development and the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, and notes the
ongoing work towards coherence between national climate change adaptation and
national disaster risk reduction strategies, as well as the Sendai Framework target
indicators and national adaptation goals and indicators;
21. Reaffirms that the establishment of common indicators and shared data
sets to measure the Sendai Framework global targets and the disaster risk reduction
targets of Sustainable Development Goals 1, 11 and 13 is an important contribution
to ensure coherence, feasibility and consistency in implementation, the collection of
